Step 2—Charge the Battery

Before you can continue setting up your iQue M5, you
should charge the battery for four full hours.

To charge the battery:

1. Locate the Sync cradle and the AC charger from
the product packaging.

2. Plug one end of the AC charger into the back
of the Sync cradle. Plug the other end into a
standard wall outlet.

NOTE: Do not connect the Sync cradle to your

computer until you are instructed to do so in a
later step!

3. Insert the iQue M5 into the cradle by aligning the
sides of the unit with the sides of the cradle. Then
slide the unit gently down until it clicks into place.

Step 3—Set Up the iQue M5

After four hours have passed, turn on the iQue M5 by
pressing the Power button, shown to the right. If the
iQue M5 is charged completely, the LED light on the top
of the unit should illuminate in green. If it is illuminated
in orange, the unit needs to finish charging. When the
unit is completely charged, follow the on-screen setup
instructions.

Note: You may see a “Backup Battery

Very Low” warning, even after you
have charged the lithium-ion battery
completely. This warning relates to
the internal memory battery, which
retains data when the main battery is
removed. It may take up to two days
to charge the internal memory battery
completely. During this time, you can
still use your iQue M5 out of
the cradle.
